Stoney Point Organizing

[gitano]

Also known as Hornady Chamber-all. I bought my first one before Hornady bought out Stoney Point so I still think if it as Stoney Point. Hornady didn't seem to "break it" after they bought it, and I don't think they stupidly upped the prices for components, but I quit buying components and started making my own when I got my lathe and mill, so don't hold me to that assumption.

Anyway, until today, I kept all the pieces in plastic zip-lock baggies in this Tupperware-ish container.

(You can see the 5/16-32 tap and die used to make the 'custom cases' that fit on the gauge.) After many years of fiddling with that arrangement, I decided, ala Popeye,  "That's all I can stand, I can't stands n'more", and broke down and made something to hold all the pieces in an organized fashion.

The container is a 2.5lb coffee can.

In which are two platters. One holds the 'custom cases' the other, the caliber-specific mandrels. Since pictures are worth thousands of words:








Since I'm doing all of this from my phone, I'll break off here with this terse - for me - explanation. When I get back on my desktop computer, I'll flesh it out a bit more.

Yur rite 'bout the PS. Thanks. I'll move it. Happens when trying to do 'things' from a phone.

Funny you mention the coffee can. I was trying to think of another container to use/make. The making was too involved, and I couldn't find another appropriate container. As it was, I spent four hours making jigs and 10 minutes making 'the thing'. I am SO tired of making jigs to make things.
